Yeah why wouldn't you want to know how things work!
I obviously don't know you, but to me it seems that a majority of Docker users know how to spin up a container, but have zero knowledge of how to fix issues within their containers, or to create their own for their custom needs.
To clone their voice, and to send the audio to some unknown server
Never in my life hage I known people (in Germany, but probably everywhere) to he happy with politics. I would also argue that for the vast majority (again, here in Germany) life has improved over the past decades.
IMO the reason for right wing surges aren't actual real-world problems or failings of ruling parties (though flawed they are), but the new forms of propaganda and outreach that right wing parties have mastered, and left wing parties have failed at.
Which shouldn't really be an issue since you should only host on 443, which tells bots basically nothing.
Configure your firewall/proxy to only forward for the correct subdomain, and now the bots are back to 0, since knowing the port is useless, and any even mildly competent DNS provider will protect you from bots walking your zone.
Sorry, saw this only just now. I don't really have any guides to point to, so just the basic steps:
90% of this is applicable to any "how to host x publicly" question, and is mostly a one-time setup. Ideally, have the proxy running on a different VM/hardware, e.g. a firewall, and do think about how well you want/need to secure the network.
In any case, you then just put in https://jellyfin.yourdomain.com/ in the hotel TV.
I have never used Tailscale. I have also Jever seen anyone in the wild recommend it and explain what exactly the use-case is beyond plain, old, reliable, open source WireGuard.
So yeah, agreed.
Also I have been hosting Jellyfin publicly accessible for years with zero issues, so idk... I also dint k ow what the "you have to use Tailscale for jellyfin" people are doing with TVs/Firesticks/... in hotels, airbnbs,...
For manga, I've found Mihon to be nicest, by far, and it supports the API. For books, I am currently "stuck" on koreader on Android (which "only" supports OPDS-PS). I do most of my reading on a reMarkable currently, and that has no supporting client. Writing one is on my to-do list, but it's a bit daunting of a task....
I think I have set Suwayomi to download / convert to CZB, not for Kavita specifically, but because a lot of reader apps cannot handle loose images
Haven't had any issues in that regard, so can't really say, sorry. I have two folders (Mangas and ebooks) on my NAS, and in Kavita, created a library for each.
You absolutely can edit metadata, although I personally haven't had the need yet. I use readarr and suwayomi for "obtaining" books and manga, respectively, and what they come up with is usually just fine.
I went through essentially the same thing a couple months ago. Tried Calibre (and Calibre server) since everyone recommended it.
Really disliked it. Calibre is great for converting ebooks, but has shit management and webserving capabilities.
I ended up with Kavita and am super happy. On the web client, both management and actual reading are a pleasure. Any phone/tablet client supporting OPDS works perfectly to read/download your manga/books from the server.
And a select few clients go a step further, supporting Kavita's API, which allows for 2-way sync (effectively, syncing reading progress between all your devices).
Yeah but conduit is so stale, it might as well be discontinued
I would say yes, it's still self-hosting. It's probably not "home labbing", but it's still you responsible for all the services you host yourself, it's just the hardware which is managed by someone else.
Also don't let people discourage you from doing bare-metal.
